Easy Mini Cranberry & Walnut Pies
- 2 cups Fresh Cranberries, Halved
- 1/2 cups Chopped Walnuts
- 1/2 cups Sugar
- 3/4 cups Butter, Melted And Cooled
- 3/4 cups Sugar
- 2 whole Large Eggs
- 1 cup Flour
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a medium bowl combine cranberries, walnuts and 1/2 cup of sugar.
- Mix well. Divide mixture evenly and pour each portion into 4-6 mini (3 to 4 inch size) greased springform pans. Or you can use one round 9 inch pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup of melted butter and 3/4 cup sugar. Mix well. Add in the eggs and the flour. Mix well.
- Portion out the batter and spread it gently over the cranberry/walnut mixture in each pan until all areas are covered.
- Put the pan(s) on top of a baking sheet (to catch drips) and put the sheet into the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes for small pans (35 minutes for full sized) or until a toothpick inserted into the cake portion comes out clean. Remove pan from oven.
- Once removed from the oven let it sit for a few minutes. Then, ever so gently go around the perimeter of the pan with a butter knife gently breaking the connection of the pie and the pan. Slowly release the side of the pan(s) and remove.
- Let the pie sit for another minute. Then gently invert it off of the pan base onto a plate. As you slowly begin to remove the bottom of the pan from the top of the pie use a butter knife to pull the topping away from the pan. If you want more of a cake feel you can always double the batter, but this is how I like it best.
- Cool and serve. Enjoy!
